Chapter 162 Without evidence, there is no truth
The little golden crow was killed! It was so wronged! It was flying peacefully in the sky when disaster struck from above.
That big, simple-minded Kuafu didn't want the sun to set, so he insisted on chasing after it, trying to keep it in the sky. He exhausted himself to death. Can you blame him for that?
Enraged, Xiao Shi jumped out and shouted, "You're talking nonsense! If you want to accuse me, please provide actual evidence!"
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?" Hou Yi also stepped forward. He had seen it clearly; Kuafu had died from exhaustion while chasing this little golden crow.
"What you see with your own eyes is just Kuafu chasing the sun, but I am fulfilling my divine duty by following the will of Heaven and responding to the needs of the people. I fly like this every day."
If you want to accuse me of deliberately luring Kuafu to his death, please first provide evidence that I lured Kuafu to chase the sun. What you see with your own eyes may not be the truth, and what you hear with your own ears may not be the reality. "Xiao Shi refuted Hou Yi's arguments logically.
Di Jun's eyes lit up with admiration. "Good son, he has the same flair as me back then."
"You're so eloquent and quick-witted at such a young age. How can we be sure you're not doing this on Di Jun's orders?" Hou Tu questioned.
“That’s right, the son always listens to his father. If the father does not act against his will, the son will not act against his will.” Dijiang also had this suspicion.
Di Jun raised an eyebrow. This was aimed at him? What a joke, would he be afraid?
"What a joke! There's only one truth in the world: without evidence, everything is meaningless." Xiao Shi argued forcefully, because if he didn't, he would be unfairly blamed and he and his father would be deeply wronged.
After retaliating shrewdly, Xiao Shi pounced back onto Xi He, transforming back into a little golden crow with its fur standing on end—after all, Hou Yi was present!
This man killed his nine older brothers. He was a terrifying, ruthless shaman. If he got angry and suddenly attacked him, it would be unbearable. One must be on guard.
Xihe conjured a comb and groomed the little golden crow's downy fur. "Don't be afraid, your mother is here."
Dijiang was speechless; apart from Houyi's account, they really couldn't produce any other evidence.
"Hahaha, Dijiang, did you hear that? Even a little kid can leave you speechless. Do you realize how ridiculous you are?" Dijun was really happy today. Xiao Shi really made him proud.
Dijiang and Houtu looked at each other, then huddled together and whispered, "That kid, what he said seems to make some sense?"
"It's not just a little bit of truth, it's a lot of truth." Houtu recalled Kuafu's stubbornness, and realized that this matter might really have been caused by Kuafu himself.
"The little golden crow's flight today was no different from before?" Di Jiang hesitated and began to recall.
"It flew better than before, so it shouldn't be the same one," Houtu commented.
"Your Majesty, are we just going to let this go like this?" Hou Yi was getting anxious as he saw that the situation was very unfavorable for them.
He wondered if he should take advantage of the situation to eliminate the golden crow and avenge Kuafu, even if he was killed by the enraged demon emperor the next moment.
"Hou Yi, don't be impulsive." Hou Tu gave Hou Yi a warning look. Hou Yi was good in every way, except that he was too impulsive.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to them. The demon race are all treacherous and cunning. Haven't they used tricks to deal with the Great Witch countless times?" Hou Yi was furious. How could he be so easily swayed?
Houtu glanced at the fluffy, golden crow and her lips twitched. It was so small that it was really hard for her to believe it.
However, Hou Yi's words reminded Di Jiang that, in any case, it was a fact that their Great Witch had died because of the Little Golden Crow.
"Di Jun, if you hadn't caused this upheaval, how could this calamity have occurred today?" Di Jiang looked at Di Jun with disdain.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't do it, Dijiang would have loved to crush this golden crow that lords it over in the heavens every day and implements its policies on the primordial land.
Originally, the demons ruled the heavens and the witches ruled the earth. But ever since Emperor Jun became increasingly powerful and influential, the fortunes of the witches have visibly declined, and their territory has shrunk. In contrast, the demons have been rising like the sun.
"Dijiang, today I truly understand what it means to fabricate a charge against someone." Dijun thought to himself, realizing that not all the witches were just empty-headed, muscle-bound shamans.
"This action is in accordance with Heaven and the people. Heaven has bestowed upon me a vast amount of merit for this. Is this something that I, the Emperor, could accomplish alone?" Di Jun exuded an air of 'grand and dignified' self-righteousness. "I, the Emperor, govern the primordial world with virtue and maintain the operation of Heaven. I am the Heavenly Emperor, revered by Heaven and Earth. Di Jiang, if you are not convinced, do you intend to defy Heaven?"
"Di Jun, you..." Di Jiang's face was a mess of blue and purple. Even if he wanted to defy the heavens, he wouldn't be foolish enough to directly challenge the Heavenly Dao.
Di Jun is too cunning, using the Heavenly Dao as a pretext. The Wu Clan is currently recuperating, so Di Jiang really can't afford to break off relations now.
"Don't get too cocky. Don't let me catch you red-handed." Dijiang suppressed his anger. "Let's go."
Houtu sighed, "Houyi, stop looking, let's go."
"Your Majesty, what about Kuafu..." Hou Yi was unwilling to accept that Kuafu had died in vain.
"Hou Yi, I know you're unwilling to accept this. Go find evidence. If you find that this was done by the Little Golden Crow or Di Jun, then we'll have a reason to attack the demon race." Otherwise, what can Hou Tu do?
"I will not be satisfied until Di Jun is eliminated and the demon race is eliminated," Di Jiang said, his heart filled with murderous intent. "Hou Yi, you can wait with peace of mind. Our Wu clan has long had a deep grudge against the demon race, and this enmity will be settled sooner or later."
Di Junzhi looked down triumphantly at the slinking away Wu Clan, picked up Xiao Shi and kissed him, "Good baby, you've really made your father proud today."
Xiao Shi wiped his head with his little wings in disgust. He wasn't a real child, so how could he stand there and let someone pin the blame on him?
A smile appeared on Xihe's lips as she picked up Xiao Shi and held him in her arms. "Alright, Xiao Shi is no longer a child."
"Can you still hold on? Don't spoil your brothers too much." Xihe's eyes held a knowing ease.
"What can I do about my own brother? I can only take on more responsibility." Xiao Shi said with a heavy heart.
“You’re so carefree,” Xihe tapped Xiao Shi’s head. “Your mother will take you to find your brothers. This can’t go on.”
“That’s right, Xihe, you have to teach those boys a lesson. How can an older brother push the responsibility onto his younger brother? We can’t let Xiao Shi get tired.” With such a wonderful son, Di Jun was practically strutting around with pride.
However, Di Jun's smugness didn't last long. When he heard Tai Yi's words, his smile froze on his face. "What did you say?"
"Chang Hao took Yuanshi Tianzun away from the Demon Court and asked me to tell you." Taiyi felt that everyone he had met these past few days, from his elder brother to Yuanshi Tianzun, was very strange.
A dark cloud instantly descended upon Di Jun. "Didn't I tell you to stay by my side at all times?"
“But the Heavenly Venerable’s ‘strict demands’ on his nephews were really excessive.” Taiyi didn’t believe his elder brother was unaware of the situation.
"Damn Yuanshi Tianzun!" Di Jun cursed under his breath.
